Descripción

PostgreSQL must implement cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure or modification of organization-defined information at rest (to include, at a minimum, PII and classified information) on organization-defined information system components.

Cómo se verifica

Método de auditoría: Revisión manual

Esta recomendación no se puede verificar automáticamente. Un escaneo la lista con estas instrucciones cuando se pasa --include-manual.

Run SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions WHERE name = 'pgcrypto'; If data requires encryption and pgcrypto is not available/installed (installed_version empty), this is a fail. If disk or filesystem encryption is required, have the owners demonstrate it.

Cómo se corrige

Método de corrección: Guía o parche de infraestructura

Install the contrib package if needed and run CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto; in the databases that store data requiring column-level encryption; keep keys outside the database.
